    It's been in the FF and F12 for about 3 years now. A ridiculously expensive option that few buy.

    Four grand for a 5 dollar LCD screen. Ah! Ferrari!

    I got it in my FF and probably would not spec it in the future. Cool to have but not really needed.

    Thanks.

    Thanks.

    I will pass on this option. My wife really does not need to know how fast I am going.
    Lots of other options I want that I could spend the 4k on.

    Is anything "standard" on a Ferrari? ;)

    Ironically in the FF and F12, a lot of optional equipment is included as standard that is optional in the 458

    For example, power seats, Nav, cruise control, and some other luxury items.

    I think what's standard on the car depends on market. For example on the last 3 Ferraris I've bought in Australia they came with the Australia pack which, seems to include a bunch of options as part of the base price. For example my Aperta included full interior and exterior carbon which, I don't think was standard in the US and Europe.

    Thanks for this info. Just love this color for the spider. I am going to take a trip up there to see this car in person.

    No that is perfect Pat. It certainly shows the euro style license plate will still fit a USA market Ferrari. No dedicated bumper with a narrow license space for the USA destination cars now.
    Great to get your Ferrari delivered before that inevitable snow arrives...
    Thank you for your new GTB pictures here!

    my 488 arrived in the states on the 26th of last month, there was a recall for something fuel related so as I was picking up my car, I had to wait a little to drive it.
    finally brought it home over a week ago, haven't driven it too crazy yet, but still got on the pedal. I missed my 458 a LOT. the only issue I had with it was that it felt unstable at high speeds(150mph+) compared to my Aventador and it would fish tail too easily. my 488 off the bat feels a lot more stable and smoother and of course a LOT faster. my suspension is here and I'm debating on some customs wheels which I already have made... but my exhaust and downpipe is what I'm really waiting for to install. I love this car so much

    I haven't had time to take good pics yet, but these should do. the new key fob is beautiful.

    yeah, anyone who knows me since I had my license knows my cars sit on the ground, but on any ferrari, they need even extra lowering. I have the front lift system just because, but I rarely ever used it or should I say needed it on my 458.

    my springs will drop it a little, until they make a coil-over system to drop it the way it needs to be
